Coroner Elaine Truscott did not criticise the officers for shooting Mr Mokmool, saying they had "cause to believe that Mr Mokmool was going to stab Senior Constable Tse.

"The police had every reason to assess him as posing a very serious risk to their safety or lives as well as to the public, should he have run amok outside the shop, where there were many people gathered and passing," she said.
